    He just looked so much fresher in his past 2 fights (in the weigh-ins and the actual fight)....what do u guiys think? Personally I think he was, and if they meet at 140, I have a feeling Pac wold finaly finish JMM off.

    There is a good chance of that. It seems 135-140 is afterall a better weight for him.. I am just astounded at how well he carries his speed up in weight classes, its truly amazing.

    Roach had said that they were killing themselves to get to 130 and that they would not be going back down, so at 140 I would favor Pacman even more.

    If I remember correctly, he weighed in at 129 then fought JMM at 147. That has to be unhealthy.

    from watching the Diaz and DLH..besides carrying the speed...cant help but notice how sturdy he is. The DLH fight..Pac looked winded after the 3rd in his stool, but got a second wind and was stronger in the 7th and 8th.. Same with Diaz...he was stronger as the fight went on.

    His torsos alot thicker as well..

    In the JMM fight..Pac was outhustled in the 12th round..Ive never seen that and he was hurt with a couple of shots to the body.

    He might have been, he does look better at a higher weight.

    Well think about this..He was trying to do at cutting to 130 what Joan Guzrun is trying to do. Adding almost 20 lbs overnight.

    Where does that land Guzrun? in the hospital..

    the great fighter that Pac is..he goes on with it

    I agree with Ray. Manny was just fighting a guy who was at the top of his game and has his style down. I wonder how a year and 5 more pounds would affect Juan Manuel in a third fight. I wish they would've just settled it after the Pac-Diaz and JMM-Casa fights, but I can give you 20 million reasons why Manny put his balls on the table and moved up to fight DLH first.

    I say no. JMM is a beast for his age with regards to stamina. I've never seen JMM tired.

    Pac was weight-drained for sure. I agree that JMM is better than Diaz but I doubt if JMM could do what Pac did to Diaz and nah, he's not better than Oscar and he will never be.:nono

    Back around after the Pac/JMM rematch, Roach had said something about Pacquiao was killing to make weight at 130, thus making to initial move to 135.. I do take Pac to beat JMM more decisively at 140..
